Thanks RR. I've seen the Canadairs parked outside in the summer months.

Here's another to try.....

Correct Mr G. It is RAF Chivenor, a jewel of a base (RAF Butlins to the locals), and home to No2 TWU Hawks in my time there. It's now of course RMB Chivenor.

You have control.

It was the Norman Church on the horizon far left that gave it away !!

Here's the next one.

Hyperborean.

I have just had to look up where Aboyne is. Well I am a Sassenach !!

It is not Aboyne.

This aerodrome is much further south.

Ok chaps, time for a clue.

So far all the guesses have been in England and one in Scotland.

This aerodrome is not in the UK.
